Charlotte Historic District Commission INTRODUCTION The Charlotte Historic District Commission was established in 1976 by an act of City Council as part of the redevelopment of Fourth Ward. Today, the Commission’s responsibilities have grown beyond Fourth Ward to include design review and enforcement in other designated Local Historic Districts. In addition, the HDC and its Staff provide historic preservation education and technical advice for other local government agencies and the community at large. The Policy & Design Guidelines are the result of an effort by the Historic District Commission and its Staff to state the Commission’s philosophy and to outline its policies. The manual contains a wide variety of information, and is designed to clarify the application process and to give Local Historic District property owners an understanding of what constitutes appropriate rehabilitation, renovation, and construction. Copy The Historic District Commission and its Staff want this manual to be useful for anyone needing information on development and renovation in Charlotte’s Local Historic Districts. We welcome input and comments from the public. THE CHARLOTTE HISTORIC DISTRICT COMMISSION The Charlotte Historic District Commission consists of twelve Members appointed by the Mayor and City Council. Under a resolution of City Council, the HDC has representatives who own property, live, or own businesses within the Local Historic Districts. Other Members are appointed at large from the entire community. AArchival majority of the Commission’s Members must have some demonstrable expertise or experience in the areas of neighborhood preservation, architecture, planning, history or other areas directly related to the mission of the Historic District Commission mission. A current list of Members can be obtained by contacting the HDC Office. The Historic District Commission Staff is a part of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Planning Department. The Charlotte Historic District Commission Charlotte-Mecklenburg Government Center 600 East Fourth Street Charlotte, North Carolina 28202-2853 704-336-2302 704-336-5994 704-336-2205 [email protected] Last revision to document on April 25, 2006 1 CHARLOTTE HISTORIC HDC DISTRICT COMMISSION Policy & Design Guidelines STATEMENT OF PHILOSOPHY Charlotte’s Historic District Ordinance states the purpose of Local Historic Districts and of the Commission that administers those districts: “The purpose of a Local Historic District is to encourage the restoration, preservation, rehabilitation, and conservation of historically significant areas, structures, buildings, sites, and objects and their surroundings from potentially adverse influences which may cause the decline, decay, or total destruction of important historical, architectural, and archaeological features, which are a part of the city’s heritage, and to review new construction design to ensure compatibility with the character of the district.” It is the responsibility of the Members of the Historic District Commission to identify and protect the overall character of Charlotte’s historic neighborhoods that have been designated by City Council as Local Historic Districts. Historic preservation is not limited to the saving of the very old, or of examples of “high-style” architecture. It is not interested only in theCopy protection of the buildings inhabited by our nation’s and our city’s founders. It is more a perspective based on the belief that our surroundings should have a human scale, a pedestrian orientation, visual variety and texture, and areas of green space and trees. It is also the recognition that historic resources, whether built in 1741 or 1941, belong to the entire community as part of our collective heritage. It is the belief that owners and residents of historic properties or properties within historic districts are stewards of an important part of our visual history. Historic preservation is not limited to freezing properties in time. While that approach might be appropriate for such places as Old Salem or Colonial Williamsburg, it is not the proper approach for such vital residential neighborhoods as Charlotte’s Local Historic Districts. Charlotte’s historic neighborhoods needArchival to keep up with the times and can easily do so without the loss of historical and architectural integrity. Historic neighborhoods can and should be vital, vibrant, living, growing, thriving places to live and to work. It is the aim of the Historic District Commission to champion and spread these ideas throughout our city. The HDC and its Staff are committed to the concepts of historic preservation and to assisting residents and owners in historic areas in their efforts to make their properties livable and functional while maintaining those characteristics that help illustrate our common history of growth and prosperity. There is a commitment to aiding present-day growth and development within the context of Charlotte’s designated Local Historic Districts. Charlotte cannot foresee its future without a sense of its past and an appreciation for the physical reminders of that past. 2 Last revision to document on April 25, 2006 CHARLOTTE HISTORIC HDC DISTRICT COMMISSION Policy & Design Guidelines LOCAL HISTORIC DISTRICTS The Charlotte City Council has designated six Local Historic Districts, in recognition of the significance of each area in Charlotte’s social and physical history. All properties within local historic districts are under the jurisdiction of the Charlotte Historic District Commission. The Charlotte City Zoning Code Section 10.201-217 states: All demolition, construction, additions or exterior alterations to these properties must be approved in advance by the Historic District Commission or its Staff. Failure to gain such approval can result in enforcement action. Anyone planning work in a Local Historic District should contact the Charlotte Historic District Commission Staff at 704-336-2302 or email [email protected] .

Phase I Reconnaissance Survey Methodology In 2012, the City of Charlotte was awarded a federal grant from the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office (HPO) to conduct a Phase I (reconnaissance level) architectural survey of Charlotte. The Phase I survey is anticipated to be the first of five (two reconnaissance-level and three intensive-level) investigations of architectural resources within the central city. This project is designed to support future planning efforts as well as local historic landmark and district designations, conservation district designations, and National Register nominations. This initial Phase I survey was limited to the area within the general radius of Route 4, an eighteen-mile, partial ring road around the Charlotte’s central business district and surrounding, adjacent neighborhoods. The City of Charlotte contracted with Mattson, Alexander, and Associates, Inc. (MAA), an historic preservation consulting firm based in Charlotte, to conduct the Phase I survey. Frances P. Alexander and Richard L. Mattson were the principal investigators, and Mr. John Howard, Director of the Charlotte Historic District Commission, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Planning Department, was the local project coordinator. The tasks completed under the Phase I scope of work are summarized below: 1) The principal investigators determined the status of existing National Register and/or locally designated resources in the survey database.

  • Post World War II Survey Study
    Final Report: Post World War Two Survey Sherry Joines Wyatt & Sarah Woodard for David E. Gall Architects. Click here to see National Register eligible properties UNCC students in the History 6000 Historic Preservation class spent hours examining newspapers and journals of the post-World War Two era. Without their work this report would have been impossible to produce. Click here to see the results of the students' work. In 1945, the western world was emerging from a long, dark tunnel of economic depression and world-wide war. In the United States, the light at the end of that tunnel illuminated the deficiencies and shortages left after years focused solely on survival. Thus, with the conclusion of war, the country rushed to satisfy the needs and wants of a population overwhelmed and exhilarated by returning servicemen and a newly invigorated economy. The post-war years saw common citizens experience economic prosperity not previously known. This, in turn, sparked a renewal and explosive expansion of trends begun in the wealthy 1920s. Some of the most notable and important of these patterns, with respect to the built environment, were suburban expansion, transportation improvements and accessibility, and a renewed interest in Modernist ideas about architecture. These three national trends created the three local contexts of community planning, transportation, and architecture in which Charlotte’s post-war Modernist architecture developed. An examination of these contexts and the dynamic changes in the booming, post-war New South City of Charlotte between 1945 and 1965 can serve as a case study of the historical climate in which post-war architecture evolved throughout North Carolina.
